Products that Teach the Executive Function Skills of Attention

We believe that the underlying skills that comprise human executive functions of attention, memory, critical thinking, abstract reasoning and decision making can be significantly improved using the ATENTIVmynd™ Solution.

Personalized game applications that instantly respond to each player’s performance

ATENTIVmynd™ Games are truly personalized to each player by our ‘in-game’ proprietary calibrations of attention levels and the player’s relative performance in moving through multiple challenge tasks that teach and sustain new executive function skills. As each player’s attention levels rise into an optimized learning zone, a series of thirteen skill challenges emerge within a captivating adventure story. Performance against each challenge regulates the emerging adventure story to maximize engagement and skill development. Children learn to instantly recognize, push away and ignore distractions and suppress their impulsivity at home, school and in life, helping them to overcome their struggles due to poor attention and impulse control skills.

Each ATENTIVmynd™ Game takes about 8 hours of about 24 training sessions spread over 6-8 weeks. Each adventure story takes about 20-25 minutes to play through to end.

Driven by the child’s own attention brain waves

ATENTIVmynd™ Games fully engage each child into a virtual world, driven only by the child’s own attention brain waves. Controlling their attention and impulsivity enables the child to overcome multiple challenges, each a component of thirteen attention and impulse control skills such as focused, sustained, divided, selective and alternating attention and behavioral inhibition, self-regulation, delayed gratification, novelty inhibition and more. Collectively, the child learns to utilize and apply each skill several times within the virtual world, including methods that reinforce and transfer these new skills to real world practice. Completing the adventure series within an ATENTIVmynd™ Game significantly increases the child’s power of sustaining focused concentration and dodging distraction.

Learn More about ATENTIVmynd™ Games

Games are rapid learning tools for all ages. Each player learns what it feels like to evoke an attentive state at will within the epic story of the game. What might have been sporadically attainable before playing the game becomes consistently attainable afterward. Children who used to struggle with sustained attention can develop confidence in their attention control abilities. This confidence is key, because it means empowerment, self-esteem, and mastery of executive function skills.

ATENTIVmynd™ Games are unique because each game application demonstrates to children that they can rapidly learn and improve their executive function abilities, not only by learning something new, but by learning “how” to learn something new. It shows children the power of their minds, beyond the ability to memorize and repeat.

ATENTIVmynd™ Games provide a sixth sense in the ability to “feel” a state of mind, while being shown the quality of this state through the game. Playing, quite literally, involves moving objects with your mind. It creates executive function synergy by synchronizing attention with action.

By projecting the player's actual attention states into the virtual game, ATENTIVmynd™ Games reveal how attention looks and feels.
